The previous record was set on March 11, 2001, when American astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms spent eight hours and 56 minutes outside the space shuttle Discovery during a mission to the International Space Station, according to Nasa. China’s first-ever spacewalk occurred in September 2008, when Zhai Zhigang spent just under 20 minutes outside the Shenzhou-7 spacecraft in the first-generation Feitian suit.
